How to design effective primary school English homework

The task of English teaching in primary schools is to stimulate and cultivate students' interest in learning English, so that students can establish self-confidence, form good study habits and effective learning strategies, and develop autonomous learning ability and cooperative spirit. Nowadays, English homework in primary schools is generally simple mechanical training such as listening to tapes, reading aloud and copying words. The immobility and lack of creativity of this kind of machinery will seriously affect students' interest in learning, dampen their enthusiasm for learning and affect the healthy development of body and mind. With the implementation of the new curriculum standards, we should change the form and function of students' homework, take homework as a platform, pay attention to students' interests and needs, so that students can gradually master English knowledge and skills, improve their language use ability, develop their thinking ability and develop their personality.

Teachers carefully prepare lessons and design teaching links, so that students can acquire knowledge in happy learning, which is the key to cultivate interest and improve quality. However, after all, a short class is too limited. Therefore, designing some exciting and interesting extracurricular assignments that require students to actively experience, practice, participate, cooperate and communicate can not only consolidate what they have learned, but also enable students to learn a lot of extracurricular English knowledge unconsciously, which is not only conducive to improving students' listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities, developing students' language use ability, but also conducive to students' personalized and autonomous development.

Interest in homework

The new curriculum standard advocates stimulating and cultivating students' interest in learning, so that they can establish self-confidence in learning. Pupils are different from adults. They like playing, singing, performing and playing games, and operating and imagining. Therefore, when assigning homework, teachers should fully consider the characteristics of primary school students' interests, hobbies and wishes, and replace repetitive and rigid homework forms with vivid and interesting homework forms. Moreover, each student has his own different hobbies and specialties, and teachers can arrange them according to the different characteristics of students.

1. Performance ── In the Oxford textbook 6 A, there is a football match. Instead of listening to tapes and reciting after class, let students act out the games in different roles. From watching textbook performance-leaving textbook performance-imitating textbook performance. In the process of active participation, students not only enhance their interest in learning, but also cultivate the spirit of unity and cooperation, communication skills and innovation ability.

Let students take the initiative to learn English from life and enrich their vocabulary with English in life, which not only consolidates the knowledge in class, but also increases the input of information.

3. Draw a picture ── In Oxford textbook 5 A, after students learn shapes, they can organize students to draw a picture with the pictures they have learned, which can be their favorite animals, objects and so on. Then let the students talk about what they have drawn in English and practice their oral expression ability.

4. Write-After learning There be sentence patterns, interested students can write about the layout of their bedrooms or the distribution of school classrooms and communicate with each other. Creating a space for students' self-development is conducive to cultivating students' divergent thinking and innovative thinking.

Practicality of homework

"English Curriculum Standards" points out that practical English homework is not only conducive to developing students' intelligence, helping students to form good character, strong will and noble character, but also conducive to cultivating students' self-management ability and multi-cognitive ability. Ask students to communicate with classmates and teachers in English as much as possible after class; At home, students are required to communicate with parents who understand English. Parents who don't know English can also let students act as small teachers to teach parents to learn English, so as to truly achieve the purpose of applying what they have learned. This practical English homework can improve students' oral communication ability and is more conducive to the development of students' comprehensive quality.

Openness of homework

Open-ended homework can stimulate students' desire to explore, and let students find their own interesting content continuously. It is one of the effective forms to cultivate students' ability to explore, seek differences and innovate. Inconsistency in the completion time, form and result of homework is a concrete manifestation of respecting students' individuality and reflecting their differences. For example, when completing some investigation activities, students can choose different completion times; You can freely choose the form of completion, such as group cooperation, cooperation with parents or cooperation with neighbors and friends; Encourage and appreciate every different answer. Teachers should emphasize the diversity of answers and the universality of obtaining information.
